WALT: Tell the time (o'clock/half past)

Jay says, "I am proud because I know that there are 60 seconds in one minute, 60 minutes in one hour and 24 hours in one day."

WALT: Use the space around us

Room 30 have loved going to Youth Town. 

We had FUN, LISTENED and LEARNT some very fun skills like:

• following instructions
• team work
• finding/using space

WALT: Answer inferential questions

We have worked hard to use use the text and illustrations to answer questions.

We sometimes find it tricky to answer questions that make us think outside of the box. We then have to remember to use our own experience and the story to think of answers.

Jay says, "I am proud because I always try to answer questions using the story and the pictures."

WALT: Use capital letters and full stops

 To celebrate Mothers' Day we used Tagul to make a note to our Mum's. 

Jay says, "I am proud of always remembering to use capital letters at the start of a sentence and for names."

IAL: How to read graphs and talk about them

(We have used the Statistics activities on Mathletics to practice what we have been learning.)

For our Maths Strand this term we have been learning all about Statistics.

We have collected different kinds of data and assembled this information onto the graphs.

The next time you visit our classroom check-out the different graphs we have made on the walls.

Jay says, " Ky only has 3 so he has the fewest."

IALT: Get in and out of the pool safely
